Vivid Sydney is a unique annual event of light, music and ideas, featuring an outdoor 'gallery' of extraordinary lighting sculptures, a cutting-edge contemporary music program, some of the world's most important creative industry forums and, of course, the spectacular illumination of the Sydney Opera
House sails.

It positions Sydney as the creative hub of Australia and the Asia-Pacific region, and delivers both innovative live entertainment and creative inspiration on a grand scale.

Vivid Sydney is where art, technology and commerce intersect.

It is a summit, forum and playground for the Creative Industries – a time to celebrate, collaborate, experiment, conduct business and exchange ideas.

Creative people from industry professionals to aspiring practitioners to the merely curious – are invited to Sydney annually to watch the city transform into a breathtaking canvas of creative expression. For 18 days, creative practitioners, corporate professionals, families and people of all
generations can experience Sydney's mild winter weather and engage with a truly spectacular event.

Vivid Sydney has become a must-attend event on the international Creative calendar. In 2012, the UK's The Guardian newspaper called Vivid Sydney "One of the top 10 ideas festivals in the world – a real brainy break..."

At the same time, the people of Sydney, visitors from around Australia and the world enjoy an array of interactive and immersive lighting experiences, live performances and inspiring ideas.
